Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than the $36,378 sticker price at Blackburn. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $19,146 after aid, while those from higher-income households ($110,000+) still get a break at $25,005. Over four years, costs range from about $76,600 to $100,000 depending on family income.
The college's signature work program helps keep costs manageable. Every student works on campus, earning money that directly reduces what they owe. Graduates leave with $24,242 in median debt, translating to $257 monthly payments. With median earnings of $46,802 ten years out, that's a reasonable 6.6% of income going to loans.
Students from lower-income families get the strongest value proposition here. Over half receive Pell Grants, and the work requirement means everyone contributes to their education costs regardless of background.
